In the eastern United States, the De Camp Bus Lines provided suburban bus service in New York City and in New Jersey.
The ubiquitous General Motors TDH Series Fishbowl windshield "New Look" buses that were introduced by GM in 1959, made a lasting impact here in the United States and in Canada. For many years it was the standard transit bus of choice for many transit agencies across the nation.
This particular version of the GM TDH Series New Look bus, is a suburban version with only front doors and no rear side doors like on a standard city transit bus. These buses were also equipped by some transit agencies, with reclying seats, foot rests and luggage racks much like on a long distance Greyhound bus.

I used to ride the DeCamp #33 into New York City from the NJ suburbs once in a while during high school in the mid-1970s. The "33" took us through the Lincoln Tunnel into the Port Authority bus terminal in mid-town Manhattan. DeCamp used this model bus for many years. I believe they still run the 33, albeit with modern buses.
